STEEL STRUCTURES: CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR THROUGH DESIGN

This text, by an engineer and professor actively involved in the design of structures, presents an underlying understanding of the design process which is behavior-based and incorporates LRFD (load resistance factor design). A cohesive treatment of post yield behavior promotes a fundamental understanding of the objectives of a seismic design. Design relationships are fully developed and immediately applied in numerous illustrative examples focused on creating cost effective solutions. The contents of the book cover the following: material properties and design of steel; flexural behavior of stable beam systems; stability; behavior of bracing systems; design of a ductile frame; artistic aspects of structural engineering.
